An extremely large cat. And by extremely large I mean about 8 foot at the shoulder. It's also SUPER fluffy. It ignores the normal laws of physics and volume to mass ratios. Ie it acts like a giant cat not an elephant with fur.

Faith really didn't want this. She really, really didn't want this. All she ever wanted was to live a nice, normal life as a medical assistant and get by on her modest earnings. And maybe steal precious gemstones on the side as a skilled catburglar, but it's not like she hurt anyone! Physically, at least! And how was she supposed to know those particular gemstones that one time happened to be alien artifacts or something! It's not like they were any better-secured than regular precious gemstones!

Cowardly and a bit panicky, but very enthusiastic about any job that would seem to keep her out of danger. Fairly clever and intelligent when not under pressure.
